Need some help.
1. Sometimes my steering wheel will lock up in motion when I am trying to turn. It doesn't happen at any particular speed. It locks up for a quick sec and then lets go. It all started when someone swerved in front of me about 2 days ago.
Also, under panic stops, the car pulls to the right. Take it to the dealer? 2. At hot temperatures, Hot air will be coming out of all of my vents with the AC off, is this normal? I also hear a really loud fan from under the dash. Is this normal? Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You. |

FOR #1 do you have active steering? when was the last time your wheels were aligned? power steering fluid?? For #2 I'm not sure about the hot air - because never usually occurs, but if your car is off, and you hit "rest" the hot air from the engine can warm up the cabin - try this and see if it works, and then turn it off, and see if the warm air keeps coming, If so, dealer time. Also, the Loud fan I've had a few instances when starting the car up, but I think I might've had the AC on initially, which I usually turn on after the car has warmed up, i.e. drop to 600 rpms g/l! |

1 not sure about the steering issue, but under hard braking and you have a pull it usually means brakes that have worn unevenly or an alignment issue or a combination of both.
2. as for hot air coming in its because you are using ambient air , outside air from the engine is hot since you dont have the a/c compressor running there is no cold air coming in
